"Did everyone NOT do their section review?"
*I raise my hand*
"Okay, Wiinolike, bring it up here..."
*scribbles marks over paper to show I didn't do it*
"I appreciate your honesty."
He gives me a "Red Dot".
Because I didn't do my section review, my grade went from 104% to 48%.
Why did you tell the truth?

Because NORMALLY, he asks, THEN checks it, and if we lie, we get TWO red dots, and I would have a flat-out 0% in the class.
Unfortunately for me, he actually didn't check them individually due to a "busy day".
I'm gonna finish it, then bring it in in the morning and HOPE he takes SOME pity on me.... :(
This sucks, because in the last 3 semesters, my final grades were 98%, 112%, and 105%, so my Dad will probably smash my Wii or something if he finds out before I can pull it up to a B.

If your dad would Smash it, then he doesn't deserve to have a brain.
I thought percents could only go up to 100....O_o

Sorry, it's actually 103% to 48%.
It isn't the final grade, but that means I only have 3 weeks to get it up to something acceptable.

That's what I NEED to do.
Ummm... do you guys not have many graded assignments?
A single paper shouldn't be worth that much...
Im confused.
Thats what you get for telling the truth.

Let me explain.
We've had 750 points total of graded assignments.
The section review was worth 174, PLUS and extra 200 off for the Red Dot.
A total of 374 off.
Maybe my grade's actually about 57...
Still... I went from an A++ to an F for being honest... how am I supposed to feel?
I'd still be at the top of my class if I'd lied.
"I appreciate your honesty, but i'm going to have to slice your grade in half"

We have such a flawed system.

WTF...
Thats just weird.
We have things graded on a scale of 0-100+ and then all the grades are averaged together...

It's easier for them to have total accumulative point values instead of percents with weights.

Its easier to recover from bad grades on the percentage system.
